Much of the detail for this does NOT belong on the openlayers list! The 
answer is yes, of course. From an OL perspective, your lat/lon would 
probably determined inside an event handler. From there, you would 
likely use ajax to pass the coordinate to your server program and set up 
a callback to process any return from the java page. Without more detail 
of your use case, its not possible to say more about the OL side of it. 
If the idea is to get an object drawn in OL passed back to a database on 
your server, then you should look at geoserver or similar and using REST 
to do the job rather an java servlet.

For the java servlet, the details depend on backend environment. I would 
use tomcat as my servlet container and use a jsp to interface with the 
java. Large topic areas that dont belong on the OL list. You make a 
request to the jsp with ajax from client side.
